Auditions

for Silver Dagger by David French

Steve Marsh is a mystery writer and after his third novel is published, his wife receives a series of phone calls and letters that threaten to destroy their marriage. Adultery, blackmail, murder, a figure lurking in the rain – all elements of Marsh’s fiction become part of his life in this riveting thriller. The action takes place in an oak paneled house in an affluent, mid-Toronto location.
